So yesterday was somewhat crap. Spent most of the day in bed, but thankfully managed to get up in the
afternoon to have my first shower in three days.
Today my anhedonia briefly resolved
enough for me to enjoy more pancakes and maple syrup, this time at
Jacks (my favourite local breakfast place). Before you jump to the
conclusion that my only comfort in life is food, I should also add that
I enjoyed going to a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition at
Buckingham Palace today as well. I booked the tickets some time back,
long before my depression took hold. The exhibition shows Leonardo's
anatomical drawings. I assumed they had been brought over from Italy,
but it turns out the Queen owns them. Lucky her.
The drawings brought back
not-too-distant memories of dissection at medical school. My
anatomical knowledge is shocking. When I started University I thought
I would drift towards psychiatry as a speciality, so didn't pay much
attention during dissection. That kind of attitude comes back to bite
you in the butt when you're working though, especially now I'm on a
surgical rotation.
It's now approaching midnight and I'm
planning what to bake tomorrow. I wouldn't do this blog justice if I
didn't share at least one recipe a week. Last week I made apple and
apricot slices, but have managed to palm them off on friends and
family so there's only one left. I'm thinking something chocolatey
this time, but not sure. Will have to wait and see...
